B When I came to China, my supply of Chinese friends who were willing to hear me talk about school(one of the few topics I could hold more than a two-minute conversation about) was fairly limited. So how did I practise my spoken Chinese? In my effort to be a good student, I decided to talk to every single taxi driver in Beijing. Taxi drivers were easy targets. They couldn’t tell me to shut up and they had nowhere to hide from my horrible grammar. To my surprise, taxi drivers became my favorite Chinese teachers because most of the time they were happy to talk to me about anything. Also, their most loved topics of conversation tended to fall into three simple categories (种类): food, their hometown, and the foreigners’ countries. My ability to reach this level of conversational skill has been made possible by one question—“Are you a Beijinger?” and taxi drivers loved talking about their hometown. I found that 15 minutes with a Beijing taxi driver was worth one hour with my Chinese tutor because they couldn’t speak English so there’s no second language to fall back on when things got too tough. It’s just me and my Chinese skills that would help. I was constantly surprised by how much I understood in comparison to my Chinese language level. And even if they kept talking for the whole trip, at least I was honing my listening skills. Over time, I found I could understand more and more, and was able to respond surprisingly quickly. Another trick: If I wanted to impress, I would add an extra “r” to end my words. It always seemed to cheer them up, and usually I would get an encouraging “Your Beijing dialect is so good!” 24．What was an advantage for the author to talk to taxi drivers in Beijing? A．They were very knowledgeable. B．They were cheaper than teachers. C．They had to put up with his grammar. D．They were more willing to help. 25．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “honing” in paragraph 4? A．Improving. B．Showing. C．Missing. D．Exchanging. 26．Why did the author add an extra “r” to end his words? A．He hoped to practise his Beijing dialect. B．He wanted to make fun of the drivers’ accent. C．He mainly aimed to cover up his poor Chinese. D．He wanted to make a good impression on the drivers. 27．What is the text mainly about? A．The challenges of learning Chinese. B．The talkative taxi drivers in Beijing. C．The difficulty of living in a foreign country. D．The experience of practising spoken Chinese. C “Giraffenap” has been created by a Japanese company and is intended to allow the user to take a rest while standing when you feel tired or sleepy with the aim of improving performance at work. Rather than relying on coffee and endless yawns to try and make it through the workday, Koyoju Plywood Corporation declared about the “Giraffenap” that the nap box will allow you to “be refreshed” in just 20 minutes. Giving in to your sleepiness and taking a 20-minute nap will apparently help improve your performance by recovering from tiredness, reducing stress, restoring memory and concentration, and improving creativity. A study by NASA has found that pilots who took a 26-minute nap experienced a 34 percent improvement in performance, and a 16 percent improvement in reaction time. “As a new way to take a break, we will provide a space where you can take a nap while standing in the office,” the site explains. But why does it have to be standing? Well, the site explains that the research by Hokkaido University showed that sleeping while standing allows you to reach a sleep state in which you breathe lightly, so when you wake up you can feel the effect of a nap without having to sleep too much, and you can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy. Plus, making the box vertical (垂直的) rather than horizontal means that it takes up half as much floor space and makes it less likely that your boss will say there just isn’t room. The box also comes equipped with a fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and LED lighting for safety, and it blocks out sound from the outside to ensure a calm, sleep-worthy environment. Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t you just fall down if you tried to sleep while standing? Well, not with Giraffenap’s design. The box is equipped with four points to support the body at the head, butt, legs and feet, meaning you can relax in the box while still remaining upright. 28．Where is the “Giraffenap” designed to be used? A．At home. B．In the field. C．In the workplace. D．In the classroom. 29．What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A．The benefits from taking a nap. B．The new finding by NASA． C．The ways of improving productivity. D．The pilots’ experience with the “Giraffenap”. 30．Why does the “Giraffenap” come in a vertical shape? A．It will ensure the sleepers’ safety. B．The sleepers can breathe slowly. C．It will occupy much less floor space. D．The sleepers can enter a deeper sleep state. 31．What can we infer about the sleepers in the “Giraffenap”? A．They have limited mobility. B．They will be disturbed by noise. C．They come out feeling pretty dizzy. D．They’re likely to suffer injuries. D Someday, you may no longer need to brush your teeth by hand. Instead, a group of billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you. It would be especially life-changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush. Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones on a toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter. The tooth-cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁). One goes each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center. When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles When there’s a tooth in the way, these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth’s surface. If there’s a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses. The new device is just a proof of concept The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. “There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start.” says Steager. 32．What is special about the tooth cleaner? A．It’s water-proof. B．It’s transformable. C．It looks like a toothbrush. D．It contains skinny bristles. 33．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The working principle. B．The magnets motion. C．The virus-killing process. D．The bristles formation. 34．How does Steager feel about the future of the device? A．Uncertain B．Confident C．Concerned D．Surprised. 35．Which of the following would be the best title? A．A Tooth-Cleaner Fighting Bacteria B．A Breakthrough in Medicine C．A Shape-Shifting Robotic Tooth-Cleaner D．A New Concept for a New Start 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A scientist is a person who explores and examines aspects of a certain field to better understand how they function.

It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Before coming to China, I assumed that I would be able to 41 with English. It didn’t take long for me to realize how silly I was. Chinese characters are totally foreign and 42 . I quickly got sick of not being able to understand anything, so I decided to 43 for the Chinese class my university offered. I had Chinese every weekday, after which I spent at least an hour 44 the lesson. In the evening, my friends and I tested each other on the 45 we had to memorize. More importantly, I made a conscious 46   to communicate in Chinese in stores and restaurants. I was 47 when I was able to maintain a simple conversation with the locals. When I 48 achieved A’s on my Chinese exams, I thought it was time to take a break from studying for Chinese every day and focus on my other classes. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a(n) 49 . Not only were my study habits 50 , but also the lessons themselves were getting harder. I had to start over in terms of coming up with and 51 new study habits. With finals coming up, I have established my golden rule: there is no one 52 to new language learning. Once you commit and accept that you are a 53 , it becomes an ongoing process of exploration, failure, reassessment, and trying again. Am I fluent now? Not even 54 . And I may never be.
